Denial of Service

The People have seemingly spontaneously launched what is called a Denial of Service attack against the House of Representatives: so many people are sending requests to house.gov that the servers are massively overwhelmed. While I pity the poor IT staff who has to deal with this, I find this ironically amusing as the government has been concerned about Al-Qaeda using these tactics, and instead we do it to ourselves.
